Comments on: The SQL Query to power Google Suggest http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1402/the-sql-query-to-power-google-suggest Weblog for the AMIS Technology corner Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:47:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Patrick Sinke http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1402/the-sql-query-to-power-google-suggest/comment-page-1#comment-163114 Patrick Sinke Wed, 29 Nov 2006 17:31:00 +0000 http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1402#comment-163114 I'd thought of something like this at first: select omschrijving from bestemmingen where soundex(omschrijving) = soundex( 'Santa' ) / OMSCHRIJVING ----------------------------------------------------- Sand Sand Sannat Schwendau Sunny Day 5 rijen zijn geselecteerd. Verstreken: 00:00:00.06 Advantage: Finland would not appear in this list. Disadvantage: Soundex only works fine for English words. But, I've once written a Dutch algorithm for it so there is hope ;) I’d thought of something like this at first:

select omschrijving from bestemmingen
where soundex(omschrijving) = soundex( ‘Santa’ )
/

OMSCHRIJVING
—————————————————–
Sand
Sand
Sannat
Schwendau
Sunny Day

5 rijen zijn geselecteerd.

Verstreken: 00:00:00.06

Advantage: Finland would not appear in this list.
Disadvantage: Soundex only works fine for English words.

But, I’ve once written a Dutch algorithm for it so there is hope ;)
